When we bind the ixgbevf to vfio and call the rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_enable
and rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable frequently, the interrupt setting
(msi_set_mask_bit) will take more CPU as show below. rte_intr_enable
call the ioctl to map the fd to interrupts frequently.

perf top:
5.45%  [kernel]   [k] msi_set_mask_bit

It is unnecessary to call the rte_intr_enable in
ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_intr_enable. because the fds has been mapped to
interrupt and not unmapped in ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_intr_disable.

This patch add checks for using VFIO.  With the patch, msi_set_mask_bit is
not listed in perl any more. Any suggestion will be welcome.
